In 2017, I studied abroad for a semester in Florence, Italy, and just about died and went to pasta heaven! From January through May, I ate like a queen. I honestly have no idea how I afforded to eat out as much as I did. But it was worth every cent!
As soon as I was confirmed into the Lorenzo de'Medici program, various friends of friends sent their recommendations and guides for Florence to me. I inherited a wealth of inside knowledge about Florence like the secret bakeries, wine windows, and where to find the cute bartenders. I referred to these guides religiously in the first few weeks of getting my footing before establishing my own favorites around the city and starting my own Florence food guide.
There's no doubt in my mind that there are newer additions to the Florence restaurant scene since I was there in 2017. This is just a compilation of my favorite places in Florence from someone who lived there for 5 months! This food guide is like my original Google Doc bullet point list had a baby with my food Instagram, @my600lblife. I've removed any eateries that are no longer in business but kept all my original commentary from 20-year-old Maeve who apparently was only concerned a good deal. Some of them make me giggle and cringe a little but they're authentically me and it's just like my favorite saying, "If you're not cringing, you're not growing."
I've included a lengthy list of tips for dining in Italy, a breakdown of the Italian courses and their English translation, and of course, my favorite (and not so favorite) restaurants in Florence including pasta, pizza, panino, caffe, aperitivo, gelato & more! Please tag me on any pictures on Instagram (@maevecutts) so I can live vicariously through your travels to Florence!
As always, I'm happy to help you plan a custom itinerary for your trip to Florence! Just reach out to me directly (:

Ontdek glutenvrij Toscane: de ultieme gids voor reizigers met coeliakie of een glutenvrij dieet
Wil je altijd al naar Toscane, Italië, maar denk je dat het land van pasta en pizza onmogelijk is voor glutenvrije reizigers? Of weet je wel dat er ergens opties zijn, maar heb je geen tijd om dit uit te zoeken? Dan heb ik goed nieuws! Ik ben zelf op reis geweest naar Toscane en heb hier fantastisch gegeten en voelde mij bijna als een normale reiziger. Wil je bijna 50 eetopties hebben door heel Toscane; in Florence, Siena, van de grens van Umbrië tot Cinque Terre? Dan is dit de gids voor jou!
Waarom deze gids?
Ik heb vele reisboekjes, online blogs en de Italiaanse coeliakie vereniging website doorzocht om veilige en leuke eetopties te vinden. Tijdens mijn vakantie heb ik deze opties zelf kunnen uitproberen en enorm van mijn reis genoten. Je hoeft dus zelf niet meer het uitzoekwerk te doen; alles is verzameld in een Google Maps-gids die je kunt downloaden en offline kunt gebruiken op reis. Niet meer vol zorgen of je iets kunt eten of rondlopen met droge crackers of voorverpakt brood terwijl je anderen ziet genieten van lekker eten. Je kunt nu zelf kiezen waar je zin in hebt, direct daar naartoe gaan en genieten! Hoe fijn is dat?
Wat deze gids je biedt:
> 100% Glutenvrije bakkerijen en restaurants: geniet zorgeloos van heerlijk eten.
> AIC-Keurmerk restaurants: restaurants met het keurmerk van Associazione Italiana Celiachia (vergelijkbaar met de Horeca alliantie Lekker Glutenvrij van de NCV), waar je veilig kunt eten.
> Restaurants met glutenvrije opties: waar ik zonder problemen heb gegeten en van genoten.
> Gelateria: lijst met ijswinkels waar je kan genieten van een ijsje.
> Bonus: restaurants die ik heb opgezocht, maar zelf nog niet heb kunnen uitproberen.
Veiligheid voorop:
De 100% glutenvrije restaurants en bakkerijen kan je natuurlijk zonder zorgen bezoeken. Daarnaast garandeert het AIC-keurmerk dat de restaurants getest zijn op hun kennis en veiligheid in de keuken. Toch is het altijd belangrijk om bij elk bezoek te communiceren over je dieetwensen en vragen te stellen over mogelijke kruisbesmetting. Vooral als je coeliakie hebt, helpt het om dieetvertalingen bij je te hebben (deze zijn gratis te verkrijgen voor NCV-leden).
Laat je niet tegenhouden door je dieet en ontdek de schoonheid en smaak van Toscane. Met deze gids geniet je van een zorgeloze, glutenvrije vakantie!
Koop nu jouw glutenvrije gids en begin aan een onvergetelijke reis naar het hart van Italië. Buon viaggio!

Must do - trips to picturesque towns located nearby:
• San Gimignano: 1h away
• Siena: 1h10 away
• Volterra: 1h20 away
Highlights:
⚜️ Il Giglio - giglio bottonato, is mainly known from the crest of the city of Florence. In the Florentine fleurs-de-lis, the stamens are always posed between the petals. This is also the emblem of the city and you shall see it depicted all over.
🍨 Gelato “crema fiorentina” - is the specific flavor of Florence, made with a simple combination of egg yolks, milk, and sugar. It is often flavored with chestnut honey, while another common addition includes crumbled amaretti cookies or almond liqueur. It is a neutral ice cream flavor with delicate pale-yellow color.
🍧 Affogato - a delightful and simple Italian dessert or beverage that combines two beloved elements: espresso and gelato or ice cream. The word "affogato" in Italian means "drowned," and that perfectly describes the preparation of this delicious treat. The basic affogato recipe involves pouring a hot, freshly brewed espresso over a scoop of cold gelato or ice cream. The hot espresso contrasts with the cold and creamy gelato, resulting in a harmonious and satisfying flavour combination.
🥩 Bistecca alla fiorentina - Italian steak made of young steer (vitellone) or heifer (scottona) that, combined with the specific preparation, makes it one of the most popular dishes of Tuscan cuisine.
🍷 "Buchette del vino" - or wine windows, are a peculiar feature of Florence. They are foot-high, dome-shaped holes in the thick, stone palazzi of the Renaissance city that six centuries ago were used to sell wine in a fiasco (glass bottle) without having to open a shop and avoid paying taxes. These wine windows also posed a useful anti-contagion way to sell wine during the epidemic of 1630-1633. At that time, the bubonic plague hit Florence hard, killing 12% of the city's population.

Thank you for your interest in my Taste of Tuscany itinerary which I created from my recent trip there. I hope you enjoy some of my suggestions for your next trip to Florence and the Siena region of Tuscany. If you do, please let me know in a message and maybe a photo. I am organizing this particular tour during this harvest season from September/ October, 2023. Let me know if you would like more information about this trip, it is limited to a small group of 8.
As a travel consultant, I have been organizing bespoke tours all over France and Italy since 2012. I enjoy traveling and sharing my wonderful local small/slow travel experiences with the intension of helping small family businesses recover from the past couple of difficult years. I have more itineraries to share from around the world, so be on the look out.
I envision the Next Renaissance will be in the small towns and villages in Italy, where the people have lived close to the earth for generations, cultivating a simple but beautiful way of life we can all learn from. There is a shift away from big travel business, toward slow/small travel. It is the way I like to travel.
Enjoy! Buon Viaggio!! ...and please mention my name to the locals :)
